I know I'm in the minority, but I think he can help.
I know he was bad last year, but he still has to be better than a lot of what we have back there currently.

And here's the rub. He won't sign for the peanuts that he deserves. He will take his $6M and watch games from his couch. And even if you can pull him off of the couch, he's not what he once was and I'm not sure that he even cares about that anymore.

Double edged sword...can he help? Probably. Should GB go get him? I hope not._________________From my perspective, and I don't know if Brett would say this [publicly] -- I know he's shared with me -- we would not be nearly as appreciative of everything that the Packers are had we not seen it from the other side," ---Ryan Longwell 2016

He was PFF's 99th rated corner after the first half of the season. 24th the second half. I wouldn't be confident saying he's better than anything we currently have now.

Where did Randall, Rollins, Gunter and House rank? And I said, better than a lot of what we have back there currently. Not better than "anything" we currently have._________________From my perspective, and I don't know if Brett would say this [publicly] -- I know he's shared with me -- we would not be nearly as appreciative of everything that the Packers are had we not seen it from the other side," ---Ryan Longwell 2016

He's not. I don't see why we'd pay him any amount of money to crowd our secondary backfield, even if it's at safety. It's just stunting the growth of our own guys. He's not interested in winning a title. He proved last season was about collecting a check; for all of his talk about "returning home," this is a guy who added 20 pounds and then claimed his "body was breaking down." It reeks of a discipline issue that won't be easily corrected at age 31/32.

He got torched repeatedly last season. I'm not sure it's worth investing any amount of resources to train him to play safety, and signing him to play corner is a step in the direction of making our secondary older and slower. The potential benefit--above average but spotty boundary play--is not worth the headache. He's a diva. That's a toxic personality to have around two third-year corners, an UDFA (Gunter) and one or two rookie selections.

TT cares about the locker room dynamic as much as any GM. There's little doubt the FO doesn't see Revis as being a good fit._________________
